A further step is now to be taken, as was announced by Cap- tain Euan Wallace at Southamp ton recently in the shape of pro- viding courses of instruction for omcers of the Merchant Navy in the methods and equipment which they will be called upon to use in time of war.

The doubt proved to be ill-founded, but It arose out of the unfamiliarity oficers with many of the "duties thrown on them in war conditions. Such unfamiliarity is a week spot in the national defences on the outbreak of war until there has been time to overcome it.
